Camp Cavalcade
.'CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade
^ ot American history—such as the
men behind the names of the great
army cantonments scattered all
over the United States, where young
Americans are learning to be sol
diers in order to defend their coun
try when the need arises.
Near Watsonville, Calif., is the
only camp named for an army chap
lain—Father Jos
eph P. McQuaide,
who served as
chaplain for the
corps in the Phil
ippines from 1899
to 190 0, was
drafted into the
federal service
August 5, 1917,
went overseas
and served there
until December,
1918. C o m m i s-
sioned a major in
1922, he became
regimental chaplain of the 250th
coast artillery, a position which he
held when he died in Los Angeles,
March 29, 1924.
Camp Barkeley, near Abilene,
Texas, is named for private David
B. Barkeley (1898-1918) of Company
A, 365th infantry, Eighty-ninth divi
sion, who was awarded, posthu
mously, the Congressional Medal of
Honor “for conspicuous gallantry
and intrepidity, above and beyond
the call of duty, in action with the
enemy near Pouilly, France, No
vember 8, 1918.’’ Barkeley respond
ed to a call for volunteers to swim
across the River Meuse to recon-
noiter enemy positions, secured the
desired information but was drowned
while returning.
California also has a camp near
San Miguel, named for a soldier
who was awarded, posthumously, a
Congressional Medal of Honor. He
was Corp. Harold W. Roberts (1899-
1918) of Company A, 344th battalion,
tank corps, who, when the tank
which he was driving slid into a
shell-hole, 10 feet deep and filled
with water, gave up his chance to
escape, pushed his gunner through
the back door of the tank and was
himself drowned.
Camp Davis, at Holly Ridge, N.
C., honors a North Carolinian, Maj.
Gen. Richmond Pearson Davis
(1866-1937), chief of artillery of the
Ninth corps of the A.E.F. and win
ner of the D.S.M.
Camp Croft, near Spartanburg, S.
C., is named for South Carolina’s
Maj. Gen. Edward Croft (1875-1938),
who came out of the World war as a
colonel with two decorations, the
Silver Star and the Purple Heart,
rose through the grades to major-
general and was made chief of in
fantry of the army in 1933.
Camp Williams, near Sparta, Wis.,
bears the name of a Pennsylvania-
born journalist
who, after work
ing on newspa
pers in Missouri,
became a foreign
c o rrespondent
and gave up that
career to become
first lieutenant
with the 128th
machine gun bat
talion of the A.E.
F. He is Maj.
Gen. John F. Wil
liams, who be
came a colonel in
the Missouri National Guard in 1923
and is now chief of the National
Guard bureau of the war depart
ment in Washington.
Camp Wolters, near Mineral
Wells, Texas, recalls the services of
Brig. Gen. Jacob F. Wolters of Hou
ston, who organized the Texas cav
alry during the World war and after
wards recruited a regiment of cav
alry in New Mexico to complete the
brigade. Later he was placed in
command of the Fifty-sixth cavalry
brigade cf the Texas National Guard
and he is said to be the only man
ever awarded a service medal of
appreciation, given by an act of the
legislature of the Lone Star state.
Camp Blanding, near Starke, Fla.,
bears the name of Maj. Gen. Albert
H. Blanding, born in Iowa in 1876,
commander of the Thirty-first
(“Dixie”) division of the A.E.F. and
until his retirement in 1940, chief of
the National Guard bureau of the
war department.
Camp Hulen near Palacios, Texas,
honors Brig. Gen. John A. Hulen,
who won the D.S.M. for services
during the Meuse-Argonne offensive
in October, 1918.
Camp Wallace, near Hitchcock,
Texas, honors the memory of Col.
Elmer J. Wallace of South Dakota
who was killed in France on Novem
ber 5, 1918, at which time he was
a major (temporary colonel) in thf
coast artillery corps.
Mood of the American Soldiers
“It is a stoical determination to
see the thing through. They have
entered this war after reading of it
for three years. They know its hor
rors. In this they are unlike the
men of any nation whom circum
stances rushed into war, as into an
unknown adventure. Our men know
this war; they followed it in the
press since its outbreak. They are
going in, dogged and grim; theirs
is a solid courage—which is the
most sublime.”—Capt. E. L. Fox,
in Forum magazine, January, 1918.

HERE’S TO BUTTERY FINGERS AND A TAFFY PULL
(See Recipes Below.)
CHILDREN’S DELIGHT
If you want your children and
their friends to give you a rating
of “super,” then
give just one par
ty for children
alone, and make
that party a good,
old-fashioned taf
fy pull. Think
back a moment
and remember
how you looked
forward to a taffy pull just as much
as going to a circus.
This party is exciting fun because
the children have a chance to help
in the making of refreshments. Yes,
pulling taffy with their fingers all
buttered, and watching the dark
candy mixture get lighter and light
er each time it’s pulled. They’ll like
this too, because a taffy pull isn’t a
fussy party. When you send out
the invitations, let the mothers know
it’s a taffy party so the children will
be dressed accordingly.
Unlike many foods which are iron
sources, molasses when coaked does
not lose its iron content.
If possible use a candy thermom
eter to test the candy so it will be
cooked just right, neither too stiff
nor too messy to handle. When
the candy is cool enough, cut it
just the right size for small hands.
The piece should be large enough
to work on, but not too large. When
the piece is light tan and very stiff,
pull into a long strip and cut.
Molasses Taffy.
2 cups pure New Orleans molasses
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vinegar
14 teaspoon vanilla, if desired
% cup water
Cook the molasses, sugar and wa
ter in a heavy kettle slowly until
the mixture reaches 260 degrees or
until a little of the mixture dropped
in cold water becomes brittle. Stir
a little during the latter part of the
boiling to prevent burning; pour into
a buttered pan. When cool enough
to handle, cut in pieces and pull un
til light and stiff. Butter the hands
before pulling.
Refreshments can be simple for a
taffy party, for children will be so
excited about the
taffy, they won’t
give their best at
tention to elabo
rate dishes. As
sorted sand
wiches will fill
the bill perfectly
and a hot choco
late milk drink will take care of
their keen, lusty appetites. As des
sert you might have simple cup
cakes iced with pink and chocolate
icing, fruit, and of course, the taffy.
If you’d rather give them a hot
dish in place of the sandwiches,
here’s a simple but elegant one.
Millionaire Gold.
(Serves 8)
2 egg yolks
% cup flour
% teaspoon mustard
1% teaspoons salt
1% teaspoons paprika
3 cups milk
% pound American cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
LYNN SAYS:
Stop food wastes. Not only is
this a matter of thrift but also a
vital step in conserving this coun
try’s resources. It is estimated
that tiny food wastes total up to
a tremendous amount.
Wise shopping will prevent buy
ing unwanted and not usable
food. The wise shopper should
also recognize between good and
poor grades, by reading labels
and markings, and by watching
the scales.
Poor cooking causes much
waste. Meat, for instance, shrinks
when cooked at too high a tem
perature. Vitamins and minerals
are lost when cooked too long
or when air is stirred into them
while cooking. Use short meth
ods for cooking whenever possi
ble.
THIS WEEK’S MENU
•Chop Suey, Rice or Noodles
Bean Sprouts
Apricot-Cream Cheese Salad
Bran Bread
Orange Chiffon Pie
Tea Coffee Milk
•Recipe Given
1 pound mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter
8 slices buttered toast
16 slices crisp bacon
Beat egg yolks, add flour, mus
tard, salt and paprika. Mix well.
Add % cup milk gradually and stir
until smooth. Put mixture in dou
ble boiler, add rest of milk, and
cheese, cubed. Cook until thick,
add Worcestershire sauce. Wash,
slice, and saute mushrooms, slowly.
Place mushrooms on toast and pour
cheese mixture over them. Garnish
with bacon.
Although the taffy pull will be the
main event of the party be sure tc
have games planned to fill out the
evening. Quiz games are popular and
lists for these can be made up be
forehand using questions on slogans,
famous personalities, historical
events, interesting facts, and rid
dles as questions.
Children will want some lively
fun too, and for this you can have a
sack race. The leaders of two lines
of players are given two large pa
per sacks. They place the sacks on
their feet and at a signal run to
the opposite goal and back, take off
the sack and give it to the person
next to them. The object is to see
which line finishes first.
• • •
Speaking of children, are you hav
ing a time with their school lunches?
Variety is the big problem foi
packing a complete meal in one
small box is hard
to vary and does
n’t have as many
possibilities as
the table at
home. Having at
least one hot food
helps loads, and
put this in the
thermos bottle.
You can have
cream soups, vegetable soups, then
again hot milk drinks for variety.
Sandwiches are a standby, but
don’t get into a rut with these. Don’t
have soggy fillings. Wrap each one
separately in wax paper. Favorite
fillings include:
Peanut butter and jelly
Chopped meat mixed with may
onnaise and relish
Chopped hard-cooked eggs with
bacon
Cheese and luncheon meats
Vegetabls salad sandwiches
Flaked fish with celery, lettuce
Chopped figs or dates, nuts,
moistened with orange juice
Color peps up the lunch box, so
occasionally pack a salad in a pa
per container. Use fresh fruits of
ten, or canned ones also packed in
small glass or paper containers.
Cornstarch puddings are attractive
and nourishing, and simple cookies
wrapped in wax paper will bring
cheers from any child.
Economy is highlighted these
days, but it needn’t be dull if you
use attractively garnished platters.
•Chop Suey or Chow Mein.
(Serves 6)

add to first mixture. Cook 5 min
utes. Serve hot with Chinese noo
dles for Chow Mein, or with steam
ing rice for Chop suey. Garnish
platter with thin strips of fried egg
and green onions if desired.

YOUNG PEOPLE
IN CIVILIAN DEFENSE
One day of the week was spent
very largely on one subject, because
from nine o’clock to 12:30 we sat
in Room B in the Labor auditorium
and talked about participation of
young people in civilian defense.
The conference adjourned to the
White House for lunch, and we were
back at the Labor department build
ing at two o’clock. We actually fin
ished by four o’clock, which was the
time we had scheduled to bring the
conference to a close. I think this
speaks well for the young people
and their ability to keep their pro
gram moving on time.
At the meeting, there was a feel
ing expressed that, through our de
fense work, certain goals should be
set which we should all strive to
attain in the next few years. It
was agreed they should not be for
youth alone, but must be goals for
every age and group. The entire
over-all picture must be covered,
though there may be certain inter
ests on which youth will want to
place special emphasis.
Mr. Eugene Meyer came in to
tea with me that day to tell me
hew deeply impressed he was with
the work of the women in England.
He considers that their labor is not
only contributing valuable service,
but is creating unity throughout the
British nation. There is no doubt
that women have a tremendous role
to play and I am looking forward
to the meeting which Miss Eloise
Davison will hold soon in Washing
ton, when the role of women in
civilian defense will be canvassed
from many points of view.

HURRIED EVACUATIONS
I have been reading some ac
counts of the removal of the Jewish
people from Germany to Poland and
Russia. Somehow, being suddenly
told that within an hour you must
leave your home never to return, is
very difficult for us here to visual
ize. It is a leave-taking which sa
vors somewhat of death.
In all partings with people whom
we love, there is in a minor way,
that sense of temporary loss which
presages the horrible finality of sep
aration which comes over one at
the time of death. These mass re
movals, where people are treated
like animals and not like human
beings, are so horrible to contem
plate that one can only hope that
at a certain point feelings become
numb and suffering ceases to be
acute. /
NEW YORK VISIT
My daughter and son-in-law were
leaving one day for the West, so we
devoted last evening to being with
each other. We went to a little res
taurant on Sixty-third street in New
York which we often frequented
when they were living in New York
city. After a short, but very good
dinner, we went to the theater to
see “The Wockey,” by Mr. Fred
erick Hazlitt Brennan. It is amus
ing, dramatic, well acted and very
moving.
To those of us who know the peo
ple of the East End in London, it
brought all that has happened in
the past few months vividly before
our eyes. Mr. Wookey did not agree
with his government. It was his
right to criticize and to advise, and
even to write the prime minister.
In spite of all his disagreement,
however, when his people were real
ly in danger, and his country under
attack, Mr. Wookey could put up
with any amount of discomfort and
go forth cheerfully to almost cer
tain death on the docks. That is
why some of us believe that Great
Britain must come out victoriously
in this war.
I love the scene where Mr. Wookey
airs his views to a high ranking of
ficer. A lump was in my throat when
his home was destroyed and his
wife was killed. Other people are
brave, other people suffer ' in just
the same way, but not even do we
have that sense of complete inde
pendence of expression and assur
ance that makes the British feel
that they know how to run the affairs
of the nation far better than those
who are in charge. That is a Brit-
ish trait.

ANOTHER POSTCARD
I have one postcard, which I want
to share with you today. The writer
seems very indignant with me be
cause I said my knowledge of the
Bible was superficial. I wonder
how many people would dare to say
otherwise. Few people can claim
a real study and knowledge of that
book, which is probably the most
widely read book in the world and,
frequently, the least understood. My
correspondent seems to feel that say
ing one’s knowledge is superficial
means that one had little respect for
the subject.
As a matter of fact, it is because
I have such a deep appreciation of
what real knowledge the Bible im
plies, that I would never presume
for a minute to consider it possible
for me to clairr^ anything beyond a
very superficial study. On the other
hand, my correspondent ends by
thinking it odd that people in Wash
ington can ever understand what is
going on there. I should like to
assure him that it is quite easy to
understand what human beings con
ceive and carry out in Washington
. . . and I am sure most of them
wish often for Divine Guidance!
